Hideous?!

Wow. Been a very long time.

Hello again, Blogger.

This time, I am writing with a different designation.
SAHM. Stay-at-home-mummy for 2 months.

I finally tendered from my previous workplace as Client Services Manager cum HR Manager.
My last day was on 30 October 2015.
Felt so good. Felt a load of burden lifted off my shoulders.

Yes, I endured all the hardships and cynical moments with the bosses for close to 2 years.
No other reasons except money.
But they went overboard. Too overboard such that I was actually ashamed to be calling them my bosses.
I totally lost my respect for one of them after few incidences and finally decided that I had enough.

Yes, I am going to loose my income, even end-year bonus.
Something that would definitely help me in my financial.

But, after contemplating for the 100th time, I finally took the bold step to call it quits.
Truth be told, we didn't had enough when I was working. So it wouldn't make much difference if I'm not working as well. I hope.

My dad got his CPF money as well. And he was kind enough to give us siblings some amount each.
He also gave us extra as I told him I needed to buy a new laptop, which really helped us a lot.
Thank you, papa.

I just got several text messages from my ex-boss asking me to come back, etc.
Not pushing away my luck, but once I leave, the chances of me coming back is close to NIL.

Right now, I am recuperating at home with my kids.
Oh, did I mention that I took them out from childcare as well?

Their last day with their childcare was the same as mine - 30 October 2015.
It was a very sentimental moment for me, as I didn't want them to be out.
I was really very grateful to the teachers for teaching my kids everything - English, maths, drama, Arabic, doas etc.
But unfortunately, we had to succumb to our financial situation.

I had them enrolled in PCF next year. Near to my mum's place.
Couldn't find a slot near my place.

It means that I will still need to work. LOL.

At home now, I am trying to home-school my kids.
But we didn't get to do it everyday. At times they have their mood, other times its my laziness that crept in.

I am loving the flexibility of not having to rush here and there.
I am loving the fact that I can spend time with my kids.
I am loving the fact that I can take my time to think what to cook for the day, and do other household chores at the time that I wanted.
I am loving the fact that I am just home.

We did save money on petrol and daily expenses now as hubby is the only one working. I am cooking at home everyday. And he eats home daily. In terms of petrol, have to admit - we did save a lot I guess.

It is already mid-way in November. How time flies.

I would need to be sending out my resume soon so that I can get a job and start working second week of January.
Please pray for me.

Thank you, and till we meet again.
